IPv4+IPv6 NAT and VXLAN

[kaowul]

A great project! You might consider adding IPv4+IPv6 NAT and VXLAN, which would enable it to be used for access layer routing.

Hi there, thanks for your interest in the project :)

Could you give more details about your use case?

There are many devices, such as computers and mobile phones, within the local area network (LAN), but they do not have a public IPv4 address. Although they are assigned IPv6 addresses, I believe it is not secure to assign IPv6 addresses directly to the devices within the LAN. Therefore, NAT is required. If VXLAN is supported, multiple LANs in different physical locations can be constructed into a larger virtual LAN.

Hi sorry not to have replied earlier.

I know what is NAT and VXLAN. Mind that these are completely different and independent features.

I was asking about the actual use case. For what purpose do you need these features? Is it telco, it cloud, openstack, kubernetes, ... ? Could you describe a precise example of how you mean to use grout?

@kaowul could you provide more info? Or should I close this ticket?
